How eCoupled Technology Works

Concept Illustrationview illustration

eCoupled technology is real, intelligent wireless power that uses inductive coupling to transfer energy from Leggett's surfaces to any eCoupled-compatabile device, eliminating the need for power cords and battery chargers. With eCoupled technology, there's no on or off switch. When an eCoupled-enabled area of the product comes into contact with the eCoupled charging zone, the technology recognizes the product, interprets its power needs and immediately begins to transfer energy.

Copper coils are strategically placed within the charging surface and the device. These coils determine not only the devices power needs, but also the battery life and charging cycles. Intelligent, two-way communication keeps these devices running at peak efficiency without compromising the life of the battery or the life of the device.

There are many benefits to cutting the cord, but three primary factors stand out:
  • Efficient: Transfers power with a rate greater than 90% efficiency, making it comparable to traditional hard wired charging.
  • Safe: No exposed cords or contacts between charging surface and product.
  • Convenient: Eliminates need for corded chargers and adaptors. Keeps items charged on the jobsite or at home.

Fulton Innovation, the inventor of eCoupled technology, is based in Ada, Mich. Fulton is currently working with industry leaders like Leggett & Platt, Energizer, Motorola, Universal Electronics and Texas Instruments to bring eCoupled technology to market.

Fulton Innovation first began developing eCoupled technology 10 years ago with its eSpring water purification system. For the past decade, Fulton has been providing wireless power to 36 countries and has sold over 1.5 million devices.
